Shattered Past. Socio-Psychological Aspects of Slovak-Hungarian Relations

Summary/Abstract: The author looks through those problematic points in the Slovak-Hungarian relations, which are originated somehow from the historical consciousness. The article divided them into three subtitles: Communication problems, Memory of grievances, and Slovaks in the mind of Hungarians. Communication problems in this case mean the comparative analysis of using words Uhorsko, Maďarsko, (Magyarország), (Felvidék) and Slovensko. Subchapter Memory of grievances deals with the question of the assimilation process in the era of dualism, of the question of Trianon, and the Hungarian years of homelessness between 1945 – 1948. Finally, the third part of the article highlights some points which introduce how Slovaks are present in the mind of Hungarians.
